Aluko nears England exit, in advanced talks with PSG – FCNaija

Chelsea Ladies and England striker of Nigerian descent Eniola Aluko is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Paris St-Germain and one other overseas team, according to BBC Sports.

The 30-year-old, who has 102 caps for her country, was involved in a discrimination case against former England manager Mark Sampson last year.

Aluko has scored five goals in 10 appearances this season and has five months left on her Chelsea contract. But a fresh start is understood to appeal to her, given her limited starts this season.

Chelsea are currently in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where they face Montpellier in March, and are second in the Women’s Super League behind Manchester City.

Paris St-Germain are second in the Division 1 Feminine behind leaders and reigning champions Lyon.

Yaya Toure commends City’s winning mentality – FCNaija

Ivory Coast star Yaya Toure hailed City’s winning mentality, following the last-gasp Carabao Cup semi-final triumph over Bristol City on Tuesday.

Toure bagged 70 minutes under his belt as City left it late at the Etihad with Sergio Aguero coming off the bench to score in injury time to hand Pep Guardiola’s side a first-leg advantage after Kevin De Bruyne had cancelled out Bobby Reid’s first-half penalty.

Toure credited the victory to his side’s never-say-die attitude, insisting City would have been disappointed with a draw.

“In these kind of games, we have to play two legs to try to win. That’s the most important thing.

“In the end, there was one minute left. When you win games consecutively, it can happen – the kind of games where we draw until the last minute. To continue to score like that is fantastic.

“We have a big mentality. Mentally, we’re very good. We keep going, keep working hard, trying to continue creating chance after chance… We believe in ourselves. All of the lads are doing really well.

“In the next game, we have to win again to try to go to the final. We don’t want to draw the game – we just want to win so we will be more secure.” Toure said as quoted inCity’s website
